Here are a few tips from urologist Dr AjitSaxena, for a comparatively trouble-free journey.
- Always carry a bottle of water with you on a journey, however short or long.
- If you are going to a warm place, then definitely carry a water bottle with you always. Remember one of the important causes of kidney stones is dehydration,and in a warm place you are more likely to get dehydrated.
- For the same reason, drink plenty of liquidsin flight. Go low hard drinks, as they tend to dehydrate further.
- Do not hold down your urine as that can damage the delicate bladder mechanism over a period of time. This is particularly true for women. Nowadays, relatively clean toilets are available at most places
